Q: The multi-year work on replacing the bridge over San Francisquito Creek on Highway 101 in Palo Alto appears done; however, the lanes haven’t been properly reset so it remains a traffic bottleneck. All work seems to have stopped. Can you please find out what’s going on? The last update on their website is March 2017.

A: Travelers on 101, after nearly three years dealing of with this work, you need some good news and here it is:

The merging lanes as well as the 101 lanes in both directions should be fully restored by the end of June. But, and you knew there had to be a “but,” due to the pedestrian and bike over-crossing project in nearby East Palo Alto, the merging lanes in both directions will be closed from about a mile north of here to the University Avenue ramps until the end of September.

Q: What’s happening to the center divider on Highway 237 between Great America Parkway and Zanker Road? Are they putting up a more permanent concrete divider? There’s no room for another lane.

A: The VTA is converting the carpool lanes into express lanes from Zanker to Mathilda Avenue and needs to use temporary barriers to make room to set up tolling equipment. This should be done by the end of next year.

Q: I’m not sure you have been following the never-ending road work on San Tomas Expressway, but I noticed that the sidewalk that they just laid down, between Forbes and El Camino Real has now been torn up? Why? Also, when will this never-ending project be finished?

A: The contractor built the curb and the gutter higher than what they were supposed to be and is correcting this. Once done, paving will begin and work on the expressway should completed by July.

Q: You recently mentioned that there was not much that could be done for the mess at Highway 85, Rainbow Drive and De Anza Boulevard in Cupertino. How about putting in ramps to 85 at the Prospect Road bridge which was originally planned? This would move some of the traffic to that location away from De Anza.

Bob Zalusky Cupertino

A: Your memory is good. An interchange at Prospect was planned, but back in 1984 Saratoga opposed an interchange here. Los Gatos also fought an interchange at Quito Road and settled for a partial interchange at Winchester Boulevard. There is no talk of revisiting these decisions.
